What are the most productive ways to spend time on the Internet?

Answer by Prateek Keshari:
There are numerous websites, blogs, Youtube channels etc that you can follow and make the most of your time when wired in.
Here’s a list of some blogs and websites that you can follow:

Brain Pickings(Highly recommended)– Brain Pickings is a human-powered discovery engine for interestingness, a subjective lens on what matters in the world and why, bringing you things you didn’t know you were interested in — until you are. It is maintained by Maria Popova who reads over 12-13 books a week to post all the awesomeness that’s in there.

HowStuffWorks (HighlyRecommended) – HowStuffWorks is a wholly owned subsidiary of Discovery Communications and is the award-winning source of credible, unbiased, and easy-to-understand explanations of how the world actually works. Gamut of categories to feed your intellectual hunger.

Coffitivity – Did you know that cafes are one of the best places to spark your creativity? Since now you do, check out coffitivity that creates the atmosphere of a coffee shop straight from your laptop/PC.

IFTT: Standing for “if this then that,” IFTTT helps different apps, online programs, and services work together to make your life way easier. Think getting the weather texted to you every morning or having your photos automatically save to Dropbox. 😀

Codeacademy(Highly Recommended): Extremely addictive website that helps you make the most of your time on the internet and teaches you all about the languages that back it and more!

Canva: Love designing? Then here’s Canva for you that makes designing insanely easy for you and the only limitation is your imagination.

Sporcle: Sporcle is still the best place on the internet for testing your knowledge. You can take quizzes on any topic imaginable, which is a pretty fun way to learn new things (and also to challenge your co-workers to see who knows more about obscure TV references or countries of the world).

FACTSlides → Amazing FACTS you didn’t know!: FACTSlides allows you to click through a variety of random facts that not only feed your curiosity, but are also perfect fodder for the break room. For example, did you know that UPS delivery trucks save 10 million gallons of gas every year by making no left turns?

99U : An amazing blog that keeps your brain healthy by stimulating it with beautiful insights into creativity and more!

Fast Company(Highly Recommended): You will never get bored of FastCo if you love business, innovation and everything in between.

zenhabits: One of the most popular blogs out there. Leo’s advice on life and his thoughts about stuff we take for granted is marked by extremely meticulous and perspicuous insights.
